NFL…

The NFL on Wednesday fined Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin $100,000 for interfering with a kickoff return in last Thursday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
In addition, the league said it will consider a forfeiture of draft choices for the Steelers because Tomlin’s conduct affected a play on the field.
The $100,000 fine is tied for the second-largest reported fine ever given to an NFL coach
